Ingredients

  • 4 oz sour cream
  • 2 limes, juiced and zested
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 oz packet taco seasoning
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced into thin rings
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Method

  1. Whisk the sour cream, lime juice and zest, garlic, salt, chili powder, sugar, and olive oil together into a pourable dressing. Set aside.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up. Drain excess fat, stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water, and simmer 2–3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Put the chopped lettuce in a large serving bowl and arrange the beef, red onion, tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, and jalapeño over the top.
  4. Drizzle with the dressing and toss at the table, or serve the dressing on the side. Finish with the cheddar and crushed tortilla chips so the chips stay crisp.
